Pirro Electric brings 23 years of Virginia electrical experience to every emergency electrician job in Alexandria. Old Town Alexandria's 18th- and 19th-century rowhomes often still have surface-mounted knob-and-tube remnants, undersized services, and original fuse panels behind walls that have been renovated multiple times, so any real electrical work there also has to go through the Board of Architectural Review because of the historic district. Del Ray's early-1900s bungalows and Rosemont's older single-family homes have a mix of original wiring and 1960s-era aluminum branch circuits that need remediation. Seminary Hill and Beverley Hills, built mostly in the 1940s-60s, commonly still run on 100-amp services. Eisenhower Valley and Potomac Yard are the newer end of the city, with mid-rise office and residential buildings that need ongoing tenant fit-outs and EV-ready garage wiring. Electrical permits in Alexandria go through the City of Alexandria, and Dominion Energy is the utility for service coordination.
On any given month you'll find our trucks handling historic old town rewiring (with bar coordination) and 200-amp service upgrades in del ray bungalows across Potomac Yard, West End, Beverley Hills, and Seminary Hill. We pull permits in Alexandria, schedule inspections, and walk you through the work so nothing gets left to guess.
